Every man has an inner James Bond. That James Bond is evoked every time a man takes a glance at the dial of a dive or dive-style watch. While we all can't afford a Rolex Submariner on a NATO strap, there are plenty of other dive style watches that do fit our budgets.
Caravelle by Bulova Diver-Style Watch
The first dive-style watch that I added to my collection was this Caravelle by Bulova. It's an awesome looking watch with the simple dial and rotating bezel that everyone likes. Unfortunately, the rubber band used tends to deteriorate quickly and finding a replacement that doesn't cost more than the watch is a real challenge.

Fortunately, this watch (or one just like it), is available with a stainless steel band. It makes perfect sense to have the dive look in a rugged package.
Pulsar Diver-Style Watch
If you like a dive style watch with a black rubber strap, you might check out this Pulsar dive watch. It gives you the classic look, a reputable watch manufacturer, and a strap in a standard size that you can easily replace when it gets worn out.
This black and business-like watch is Pulsar Model PXH227. It offers 100 meters of water resistance so that you can actually get it wet and go snorkeling or swimming.

Perhaps even better, is this Pulsar diver-style watch on Amazon with solar power and 100 meters of water resistance!
Casio Dive Watch
If you want a great looking dive watch with 200 meters of water resistance and a great low price, you absolutely have to check out this Casio.
It features a Marlin on the dial and it looks great. It also gets phenomenal ratings with 4 1/2 stars on Amazon. Plus, it's priced lower than most of its competition!
